Hi, Just wanted to let the council know that I will be late i dialing in to the meeting this week. While the schedule exercise was going on for both of my meetings, I did not realize they were going to collide. Once I realized it, it was too late to change either one. As the other meeting is a status report meeting on my EU funded research project, I really need to attend. Chuck will start out chairing the meeting. Once I manage to join, I will be able to take the chair on the next agenda item, assuming that is the right thing to do. Apologies and Thanks a.
